How about the Cuban Missile Crisis? And yes Castro was involved.

The CMC happened when my Dad was young enough and skinny enough to be over there involved in it. That was pretty darn long ago. And Castro's not doing anything to us personally now. Maybe he is a jerkbag to his own people, but why not accept aid? If my neighbor beat his wife and I refused to even look towards his house for years, when my house caught fire and he came outside with a hose, I would not tell him to turn it off.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Money is crucial to the problem...without it workers can't help educate the African people.

I would be willing to bet a substantial amount that Castro offered that money for the sole purpose of embarrassing Bush, knowing that we'd turn it down 
Castro is a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. It's a no-lose proposition on his part. Bush either accepts it and pisses off half of South Florida, or rejects it and looks like an ingrate. Either way, ol' El Jefe comes up smelling like a rose. |

BTW, Spence. You are a great guy. But insulting someone elses opinion is ignorance at the highest level.

Paul, SkipN knows I'm just busting his stones. Some people need a little tough love 
As for education...I agree we take care of Americans first, but just because Africa is "over there" doesn't mean their problems won't have a negative impact in the USA. The scale of the HIV crisis in some countries is simply beyond comprehension.
